Original application filed January 20,

This invention relates to an improvement inoil stoves 'orthe like and has for its object the provision of a stove wherein heat is efiiciently generated with economy in the consumption of fuel and safety in the operation of the burner. 7

Another object resides in the provision of a burner having the advantages'and capacities enumerated and which is susceptible of convenient and graduated control and also of simple and durable construction, reliable and safe in use" and easy and comparatively inexpensive to manufacture. v

Other objects and advantages reside in certain novel features OftllG construction, arrangement of parts which will be hereinafter more fully described and particularly pointed out in the appended claims, refer ence being hadto the accompanying drawings forming a part of this specification and in which 1 Figure 1 is a fragmentary perspective view showing one embodiment of the 'invention, 7

Figure 2 is a view thereof in central longitudinal vertical section,

Figure 3 is a View thereof in transverse vertical section on line 3-3 of Figure 2,

Figure 4 is a detail perspective view of the plug of the burner, and

Figure 5 is a detail sectional view of the oil inlet pipe.

Referring to the drawing, the numeral 1 designates generally an oil stove which has in which they communicate with each other a lower shelf 2 supported on legs 3, sides 4,

a top 5 and aback 6. Of course the structure of the stove thus far described may be varied' A plurality of lids two of which are shown and designated at 7 and 8 are provided and supported on the top of the stove, the lids being fitted in openings provided for the same in the top and having ribs 11 which engage the top around the openings to support the lids in position. The lids are of substantially annular form and each has an inwardly inclined or beveled top wall 12 adapted to support cooking utensils of various sizes in such manner that thebase of the cooking utensils closes the opening defined by the annular lid in the top of the same. The structure of these lids and the manner forms the subjectunatter of my co-pending application, filed 20, 1925, Serial No.

Mea-ns is provided for supplying heat to the lid and this means includes a burner havingv a cup member 13 supported at the upper end of an oil inlet pipe 14. The upper end of the oil inlet pipe 14 is threadedly connected with the base oft-he cup member 13 at-its center and projects above the bottom of the base so that dirt and sediment will be in Fig. 5 the burner pipe v14 has a filler rod 14 provided therein to define a a restricted passage 14 for the fuel. In lieu ofthe fuel rod l4 the pipe 14'may be filled with wires and the interstices to the wires provide the restricted passage for the fuel. By restricting and retarding the flow of the fuel through the burner pipe to the amount necessary to proper combustion safety in operation is assured. The interstices between the wires or the interstice between the rod and the pipe provide the passageway for the oil. This feature is one of safety and prevents conflagration or explosion. A plug 15 which has an apertured plug 15 to facilitate handling, is set in the cup member 13 and has an opening 16 centrally of its base to receive the upper end of the oil inlet pipe 14. Slots l7zare also provided in the base of the plug and extend from the opening 16 to the periphery of the plug. The plug 15 is somewhat smaller than the cup member 13 to provide a wick receiving space 18 in which a wick 19 is fitted. The upper end of the plug 15 is reduced to provide a shoulder 19 on which a combined wick holder and chimney support 20 rests. The combined wick holder and chimney support 20 comprises an inner perforated sleeve 21 and an outer perforated sleeve 22 between which the wick 19 is fitted. The sleeve 22 carries spider arms 23, the outer ends of which are connected to the lower section24 of the chimney designated generally at 25 and-made u of the section 24 and a section 26 connected with the lid 8. Between the sections 241 and as a sleeve 27 cf 3,659-and of which the presentcase is a' divi asbestos is provided. As shown in Figs. 2 and S the lower end of the section 24 is spaced from the cup member 13 to provide the air inlet around the burner and upper end of the chimney extends through the open hottom ot the lid 8.

A casing. designated generally at 30, incloses the burner and chimney and may eon- 1 of sheet metal sections 3] and 32 between which a layer 33 of asbestos is disposed. 'lhc asbestos is extended over the upper edges of the sections 31 and 32 and engages the underside of the top 5 of the stove. The section 31 is adjust-ably supported as at 34: on the shelf 2 oi the stove and the section 3:2 is carried on the section :31. A hinged door 35 is incorporated in the section 3t. By adjusting the section 81 the top of the casing may be pressed firmly against the underside of the top 5 and prevent the escape of the Warm air or gases, thereby enhancing the efiiciency of the stove to a very material extent.

The oil is supplied through the inlet pipe l t; through a supply line from a tank 41 in which a satiety oil feed connection 42 forming the subject-matter of my co-pending' application, Serial No. 202,937, is embodied. In this supply line ll) a control 'alve 43 is also embodied and has an angular linger std fixed to the axis of the hand wheel to by which the valve is adjusted. lhis linger all co-acts with a bracket 45 having a curved portion 47 hearing numbers 48 so that the adjustments of the valve may he made with precision. A stop lug 4-9 is integrally formed with the bracket 46 and limits the turning movement: of the valve to such position as to supply the llllliltl'llllll amount of oil necessary to keep the burner lighted. A shut ot't' valve 50 is also incorporated in the supply line.

I claim 1. In a stove, a burner including an oil cup, a plug Within the oil cup defining a wick receiving space, said plug having means thereon for supporting a Wick holder and chinine v, a \vick in said Wick holder, and means comprising oppositely disposed perforated sleeves tor closely engaging and supporting said wick.

A stove structure including an oil cup, an oil supply pipe leading to said cup and projecting vertically through the bottom thereof, a recessed plug resting in the cup, the recesses of said plug registering; with the orifice of the supply pipe, a shoulder on said plug, and a combined Wick holder and chimney support resting upon said shoulder.

1:3. In a stove, a burner comprising an oil cup, a plug in said cup defining a wick space, a shoulder upon said plug, a combined Wick holder and chimney support resting upon said shoulder, a wick held by said holder and closely engaged and protected by oppo sitely disposed perforated sleeves, and a sectional chimney supported by said holder.
